March 22 The program sponsored by eon frees for the derelopment of Westers highways was character ised here today as the "most con structive" in the history of road legislation. This statement was made by Dr. JD. B. McDaniel, chairman of the Good Roads board of the A. A. A. and president of the Oregon State Motor association, who spent three weeks In the national capital con ferring with government officials and members of the United States senate and the house of reoresen- satires on Various phases of the national road situation. ' Included in the group with which the A. A. A. official confer red were: Senators McNary and Btelwer of Oregon; Senator Oddie of Nevada; Congressman Hawley of Oregon; Congressman Colton of Utah; Congressman Engle brlght of California, and Cong ressman Dowe-11 of Iowa, chair man of the roads committee of the house of representatives. Before leaving for home Dr. McDaniel declared that he felt confident that five major meas ures in which the west is vitally Interested would be acted on fav orably in this session of congress. These are: First, the Federal-Aid appropri ation bill, which provides $125, 000,000 as the government's Quo ta for road building on the Feder al-Aid system, an Increase of $50,- 000,000 over previous appropria Hons Second, the Colton authoriza tion bill, providing for a $12,500. 000 appropriation for forest roads an increase of $5,000,000 and in eluding a proviso which safe I" 111 nniiniMQ UUILL.

They have striven to make driving as effortless as a ride on the magic carpet of Arab ian Nights fame. Whil many factors enter Into unconstrained driving comfort, the steering mechanism la of first Importance. Realising this. Olds mobile engineers have devoted considerable study to this feature and this year are presenting an improved type of steering gear which provides exceptional handl ing ease. 1 The new steering gear is actu ; ated by a worm working on roller bearings which operates a three- toothed sector. The design is such I that it provides ample freedom and smooth operation through out the entire range of the wheel arc, thus giving the same ease when making sharp turns as when operating In the central range. Another feature of this type gear is that road shocks caused by the Courtesy Oregon Motorist I wheel striking bumps are ab sorbed before they reach the steering wheel. This feature is appreciated by drivers who fre quently alt at the wheel all day. The ease of operation and effi ciency of brake and dutch mech anisms are vitally important, particularly when driving in con gested city -traffic. Both of these features have been Improved in this year's Oldsmobile. The new brakes are of the fully enclosed, two shoe, pressed steel, Internal expanding type.

(AP) Airplanes and automobiles are need in South Dakota to match the coyote's cunning. Spurred by depredations of the animals, farmers and ranchmen have made coyote-hunting a prof itable. popular sport. Finding poi son bait and drives by profession al hunters only fairly satisfac tory, hunters have taken to ears and the air. One South Dakota rancher. Charles Cummins of De Smet, has special equipped car in which he carries J.$ dogs. When he sights a coyote he opens the door to a kennel in the rear of his car and the dogs spring for the ani mal. Earle Wilson of Belle Fourche and Clyde Ice of Rapid City are among hunters using airplanes. When a coyote 1b sighted the plane swoops low enough for them to fire. The South Dakota legislature. in efforts to reduce the number of domestic animals killed, has passed various measures aimed at annihilation of coyotes. In 1923 a state hunter law was ad on ted which nrovided for a force of trained hunters. The system was not effective In thick ly populated sections. . Bounty plans also were tried, but were not entirely satisfactory. Last year a new bounty act was passed appropriated $25,000 annually to pay for killing coy otes. Six state hunters have been employed in a campaign to teach farmers and rancners modern hunting methods. If the campaign is successful they believe almost all coyotes in South Dakota will be exterminate UlEHlin HEADS' H1IIMH Oregon Automobile Company To Handle Oldsmobile and Hupmobile J. P.
